Lower Than Atlantis finally graced London last Friday as part of their biggest UK Tour with 3 supporting acts, ROAM, Hands Like Houses and Young Guns to warm the crowd up before Lower Than Atlantis made their appearance at O2 Brixton.

Kerrang! has been a part of every rock fans life for the best part of 35 years not to mention helping to breakout and influence a new generation of bands. So as is tradition for the last 10 years Kerrang! have put on a sponsored tour of their own, previously it has seen the likes of Biffy Clyro and Bullet For My Valentine grace the coveted headline slot.

Us lucky Gig Junkies got to go along to this year's Slamdunk Festival 2015 at Wolves Civic. Every year the question of stage location raises it's head. This year they realised a riser under the marquee wasn't gonna cut it when it became the Impericon Stage of Hardcore. And so a new outdoor stage was birthed outside the Wulfrun and thus the joy of crowded corridors within the Civic was born for the crowds.

Tonight felt like I was 13 again hanging out at the Red Rose in Rugeley. The Slade Rooms has an air of the 6th form common room full of hormonal teenagers ready to release some tension by going crazy in the pit. Tonight’s show is a rescheduled tour that was originally meant to see a now defunct Hostage Calm and scandalicious Front Porch Step supporting.

I first came across The B-52s almost 25 years ago on a popular chart show, uncannily called ‘the Chart Show’ as an impressionable 16 year old teenager just finding his way in the musical World. Pre-internet, the Chart Show was one of the few ways in which we could come across new and inspiring music videos and thus it was on a Saturday morning – armed with my dressing gown and cornflakes – that I came across a natty little ditty called ‘Love Shack’ which was unlike anything I’d ever hear. Immediately I was hooked by the 5 piece who hail from Athens Georgia.
